Mike Johnson: I Was in Secret Talks to Be The Bachelor, and I Wanted it BAD, But …

Time and time again, interviews with Mike Johnson showed the charmter Bachelorette alum gently set aside rumors that he was in talks with ABC. He was — and is — a fan-favorite to be the next leading man, even though Peter Weber is the Bachelor . Now, Mike reveals that he was in talks, that he did want the role, and shares the extremely noble reason why he was hyped for it. Mike Johnson had already weighed in a little on Peter’s selection — he’s a big fan! But on The Bachelor Happy Hour with Rachel & Ali  podcast, he elaborates upon how much he would have liked it to have been him. “I was 100% in talks to be the next Bachelor,” Mike reveals for the first time, having previously claimed to have not been in talks. He admits that, because of this deception, “People probably didn’t think I was considered to be the Bachelor.” Mike explains that he denied being in talks “because I was trying to be so respectful of the crew at Bachelor world.” “And,” he reasons. “I didn’t want to speak about it.” “Even when I went on TV. I thought that was being extremely respectful and a gentlemen of me to the Bachelor world,” Mike says. Oh, he absolutely was. “And Peter didn’t do those interviews,” he acknowledges. “So he didn’t have to go through that.” “I 100% wanted to be the Bachelor,” Mike emphasizes. And he tells th eworld exactly why. He explains: “Reasons being: One, I do want to find a wife.” Mike then adds: “Two, it was bigger than me and I wanted to represent for all people of color.” “Talking about people of color,” Mike continues, pointing out that the black community is not the only minority underrepresented on the show.  Having more than twenty seasons but zero black men isn’t a coincidence, but there’s more to it than anti-blackness. “They need to have an Asian Bachelor, they need to have an Indian Bachelor,” he correctly expressed. Mike added: “They need to have other people outside of just black and white.” He also goes into detail about how far along, how prepared, he was. “I had a list of — a Word document — of the type of woman I wanted, what I was scared of, what I wasn’t scared of,” Mike reveals. Mike makes it clear that, as important as representation is, he’s not bitter. “They chose the right person for what they want,” Mike expresses. “And there’s nothing wrong with that at all,” he emphasizes. Mike admits: “When I first found out, I’m not gonna lie, I was sad. I was annoyed when I very first found out.” “But then by the end of the night, I wasn’t annoyed no more,” he shares. Mike explains: “because I was appreciative and thankful that they told me ‘no’ right then and there, because now I could focus on myself.” We can understand why he would have felt annoyed. Not only did ABC and producers skip over yet another black candidate for leading man, but Mike must have felt strung along. Hopefully, his date with Demi Lovato soothed some of that hurt. Unfortunately, as long as a chunk of Bachelor fans decide to tune out when the lead is black — as they did in Rachel’s season — producers may still make the same choices.

‘Power’ Recap: Riq Goes For ‘The ‘King’s Gambit,’ & Proves He Is The Worst Drug Dealer Ever

Source: Power / Starz L ast week James saw ghosts… literally. He was being haunted by his dead mistress/girlfriend Angela and her red dress throughout the episode. Listening to the specter, he decided not to kill Maria Suarez but instead gave her a chance to live her life. He also tried to take out Tommy in a failed hit with some assistance from friends in high places that didn’t go unnoticed. Dre went back to his double-crossing ways to make sure he is positioning himself to take over and get his daughter back from the clutches of the Feds. Tasha opened up her daycare and made a new friend, but we are very suspicious of homie and his baby shower Burberry shirt. Riq learned the hard way that stealing and selling drugs isn’t as easy as he thought it would be. Proctor thought he was finally rid of his ex-wife and watched her overdose on booger sugar. All of these actions bore consequences that played off in in the 5th episode of the shows 6th and final season. Vincent Calls In That Favor From Riq Source: Power / Starz R iq’s foray into the world of narcotics is off to a ridiculously bumpy start. After Riq stole pills from his Uncle Tommy only to have them taken away, the son of Ghost has to somehow secure double the product for Vincent now. His “new boo” and business partner, Effie might be playing the young pill pusher. After a game of chess where Riq bested her using the ‘King’s Gambit’ move, she sends a text to an unknown person informing them that Riq is out of pills and she is going to “keep an eye on him.” This is directly after him receiving a text from Vincent informing him it’s time to deliver on the goods. You can’t trust anyone on this show. N O B O D Y. Anyway, Riq gets the bright but seriously dumb idea to try and trick Vincent by giving him a bottle full of baby aspirin. While utilizing the schools AP room (another bonehead ass move) Effie is the shadows watching her mark fluff up the pill bottle. This whole situation is getting out of control. Anyway, Riq takes the product to Vincent and for the moment thinks he is in the clear, but he will quickly learn that is not the case. Riq gets a surprise visit from his mom and Choate’s Dean, and it would appear somebody Tekashi 6ix9ine’d the amateur drug dealer. Could it have been Effie? After learning he has been expelled pending an investigation, Riq takes one last look at the chessboard, do you think he knows it was Effie that played him? As punishment, he is forced to stay with his dad at the penthouse and Ghost is not too happy to see his boy traveling down the dark path. After an exchange where Tasha intervenes before Ghost beats the breaks off his smart mouth son, the estranged couple has an argument over who is responsible for their son’s behavior. Tasha storms out of her former home, while Ghost is going to get some more guests and we will touch on that later. James Decides To Step Away From Tate’s Campaign Source: Power / Starz R ashad Tate’s campaign for the governorship of NYC loses one it’s most prominent faces. Ghost calls an impromptu meeting to tell them face-to-face that he will be stepping back from Tate’s campaign. While this is welcoming news to Rashad, it concerns Ramona who reveals much to the surprise of Ghost that his stunt at the press conference helped Tate rise in the polls. Ramona does her best to try to convince Ghost *coughs* we mean James to reconsider, but his mind is already made up. Plus before he could have any second thoughts, Tate thanks him for his decision before cockily pointing out this is his campaign and he agrees with James. Ramona doesn’t give up though and makes a second pitch to James over dinner. Even Stevie Wonder can see that Ramona wants James to *in our best Bossip voice* smash her political cakes to smithereens and he knows it. She makes a solid case to James as to why he should come back and that “the man” is better than the perceptions that people have of him based on previous situations. While we think Ghost is doing all of this as some sort of plan that will play out later, it would seem Romana is making a strong impression on him. Source: Power / Starz After a classic television hand touching moment, James announces that he has to go to handle other matters A.K.A. Ghost matters that we will be discussing later in this recap. He plants the seed that they should link up without Tate around again, and of course, Ramona is on board with that. Saxe’s Obsession With  Catching Ghost Gets Him In Trouble Source: Power / Starz C ooper Saxe wants to put Ghost in jail really bad. He is so hell-bent on his mission that he is willing to ignore clear clues that indicate that Ghost didn’t kill Angela. Even after Blanca carefully explained to him how Ghost couldn’t have been the one to fatally shoot Angela. Even with all of the information, Saxe is still reaching to the high heavens to somehow involve Ghost in the murder of Angela Valdez despite the evidence clearly suggesting he didn’t. Source: Power / Starz His Ghost obsession, plus his sneaky moves, will get him in trouble though. During a meeting with Dre, he plays dirty by trying to squeeze info out of his informant by giving him a glimpse of his crying daughter in a truck. Dre doesn’t tell Saxe how Ghost knew where Maria Suarez was, but he does reveal that his boss was having a conversation with Tommy’s connect Jason. Source: Power / Starz That doesn’t really impress Saxe, and he instructs Dre to “dig deeper.” He has to run back to the office after receiving a text message from his boss telling him to come in. Warner is absolutely pissed that Saxe was making all of these moves without telling him. He is singularly perturbed about Maria Suarez switching her story and Saxe sending in the FBI agents to unsuccessfully nab Ghost. Warner also reveals that Saxe’s cooperating informant, Proctor’s ex-wife, Lindsay has died from an overdose and that Joe was the one who called it in. Warner decides to go pay Proctor a visit so he can salvage whatever case they may have left. Saxe asks if he can accompany him and we all know why, so he can grab the illegal bug he had Lindsay plant on her daughter’s book bag to listen in on Proctor’s conversations. Saxe hasn’t been able to get that smoking gun he’s needed to nail Ghost, but he definitely got something juicy on the recording device that could possibly help him inch towards his goal. Tasha’s Daycare Business Isn’t Slapping Like She Thought It Would Source: Power / Starz T asha thought opening up a daycare would solve all of her problems. Unfortunately for her, that is not the case at all. She is strapped for cash thanks to the daycare center and asks Tommy for help. He initially offers to give his friend some money but declines to wash his drug cash through the center because Keisha offered up her salon already. Tasha already knows the deal and tells Tommy to be careful with Keisha, but he has the utmost faith in Holly2.0. Tasha’s money troubles are going to get exponentially worse. While closing the center, she is approached by hood local who wants her to start dishing out money to stay in the neighborhood. He clearly has no idea who he is shaking down, but Tasha also realizes this could be a potential problem. Tasha has to think fast, and while trying to return some clothes to get some much-needed cash unsuccessfully, she bumps into former bestie Keisha. The two have a small conversation with Keisha asking about Tommy’s dead ex-girlfriend Holly. Tasha warns her to not overstep like the dead redhead and the pisses Keisha off, causing her to walk out of the department store. Source: Power / Starz Tasha and Tommy link back up, and she tells him that she really needs the money, obviously because she has to pay off the neighborhood gangsta. This time Tommy tells her no because Keisha was upset after her run-in with Tasha. Source: Power / Starz Tasha isn’t feeling the fact that Tommy chose Keisha’s box over their friendship and reminds him he was acting the same way with Holly. Tommy doesn’t take too kindly to that and kicks Tasha out of his car. BUT before all of this happened Tasha revealed some beneficial information to Tommy that he will use later to his advantage. Tasha might be down, but she is not out yet. She encounters the local gangster once again, and he is looking for payment. Tasha informs him that she does not have his money, but does offer to push drugs for him and he agrees. He hands the daycare center owner a handful of product and walks off. Source: Power / Starz Tasha then proceeds to call one of the children’s parents we met earlier, a stripper and recruits her to help with selling the drugs. Looks like Tasha found herself a new hustle and at the same time found a way to keep the local “protection racket” happy. Proctor Finally Slips Up Source: Power / Starz P roctor took a severe gamble when he decided to let his ex-wife die instead of calling for help. He had no idea the listening device conveniently placed on his daughter’s backpack was going to pick up him saying that his wife would never take away their child from him. During the visit from Warren and Saxe, they dropped the bombshell that Suarez is willing to testify against his client Ghost with some new information. Source: Power / Starz Armed with this new information, Proctor immediately runs to tell Ghost what he has learned and insists that he kills Maria before she drops a dime on him that could spell trouble for everyone. Ghost takes that into consideration before he tells Proctor to see himself out of his nightclub. Proctor’s problems don’t stop there though, Tommy sneaks up on him and puts a knife to this throat. Source: Power / Starz Under immense pressure, Joe also tells Tommy about Maria Suarez and urges him as well to kill her. I guess as some insurance in case Ghost passes on the opportunity to do so. Tommy takes the bait and leaves Joe alive for now, but Proctor is still in a world of trouble. Saxe catches up with the lawyer, and before he can head inside his home, he plays the recording of him letting his ex-wife die of an overdose. While Proctor knows this recording is illegal, its something he doesn’t want his daughter to find out about. Proctor has a conversation with his brother Benny, and he breaks down the entire ordeal. Benny suggests Proctor uses the laptop that was taken from Bailey Markham as insurance, but Joe tells him it is no longer in his possession. Benny urges Joe not to snitch and hands him his gun, Proctor promises he won’t become a rat. With no one else to turn too, Proctor decides that his place is too hot and decides to ask Ghost if he and his daughter can stay with him. Ghost was reluctant at first but eventually comes around to let his power attorney shack up with him. We will soon learn the penthouse will be the final place he ever sees. Tommy Goes On A Cancel Christmas Spree Source: Power / Starz T here is no doubt about it, zero f*cks Tommy is our favorite. There were plenty of loose strings to tie up, and Tommy made sure he did that. He took all the info he acquired from both Tasha and Proctor to make sure there will be one left to ruin his business. His first Christmas cancellation was Maria Suarez. Before he could put a bullet in her head, Saxe stops by to discuss some details about her dropping dime on her husband’s killers, Ghost, and Tommy. Source: Power / Starz After Saxe leaves, Tommy comes out of closet armed with his silence handgun and wastes no time in silencing her for good. He takes the stack of cash Ghost gave her as a parting gift. Ghost eventually shows up and finds the young woman’s corpse, looks like James was there to finish the job, but was too late. He takes the envelope he put the money in and leaves before the cops and feds show up. Tommy isn’t finished though, there is one more loose end to get rid of, and that is Proctor. Tommy sends 2-Bit to kill the bailiff who poisoned Alicia Jimenez during her trial. That only leaves Proctor and to make sure his path to his target is clear he calls in a favor from his nephew Riq. Tommy instructs the struggle dope boy to deactivate the security alarm and leave the back door open. He also tells him to get the hell out of dodge cause he intends to let the choppa spray…literally. Riq does what his Uncle asks and before he leaves, comes across a crying Elisa Marie in his dead twin sister’s room. Not wanting her to be around while her dad is being shot at, Riq convinces her to come with him to get hot chocolate. With them out Tommy is cleared to rub out Proctor and he is packing some ridiculous heat. Armed with an assault rifle, Tommy sprays Ghost apartment with bullets trying to kill his target. Proctor armed with just a handgun defends himself, but he’s a terrible shot and is just wasting bullets. He runs to the room where he believed his daughter would be and is surprised to find out she is not there. He calls her phone and is relieved to learn she is not in the penthouse and far away from the action. While he makes his last stand in Raina’s room, he tells Elisa Marie to not come back to the apartment and to straight to her Uncle Benny’s house. He says goodbye to her for the final time in a somber moment before Tommy finally breaks in the room and fills him up with bullets. Now before he got his Christmas canceled he gave his daughter a locket with a memory card in it. We are sure that will come back to bite either Tommy or Ghost in the ass somehow. So long Proctor you had a nice run, hate it had to be you, my brother. Riq’s Stupidity Unites Ghost and Tommy Again…For The Time Being Source: Power / Starz W hile the shootout was going down at the penthouse Riq and Elisa Marie were out enjoying hot chocolate. After Riq help’s deliver the now-orphan to her Uncle Benny, Riq is grabbed up by Vincent and his goons. It would seem that he caught on to the fake pills in the bottle and now is going to make him pay. Ghost arrives at his apartment and is saddened to see his favorite attorney has been killed but has no idea what the hell happened. He is also worried about Riq more than anything and cuts off Saxe and Blanca’s questioning when he receives a phone call from Riq. At the same time, Tommy gets a 9-1-1 text from his nephew telling him to meet up with him at Coney Island. Apparently, Riq sent both his dad and uncle the same message, and they learn that when they bump into each other at the amusement park. Before the former friends and business partners could start fighting with each other Vincent reveals himself and tells them that it was he who called them to the location. He informs both of them that he has Riq and that if they want to keep Riq alive, they have to pay him $2 million to save his life. Based on the preview from next week’s episode looks like the gang will have to come together again to save the knucklehead teenager.

Detroit Youth Choir Receives $1 Million Donation

Follow this link:

T he Detroit Youth Choir fell short when it came to taking home the America’s Got Talent title, but upon their return to the Motor City, they received a memorable surprise. According to the Detroit Free Press , the choir was awarded $1 million. #BREAKING : The Detroit Youth Choir will get $1 million anyway after its stellar performance on @AGT . https://t.co/uz5qO96wsP — Detroit Free Press (@freep) September 20, 2019 The donation was a collective effort between local businesses and organizations. Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan surprised the choir with the gift before scores of people during their homecoming celebration. Amongst the companies who contributed to the donation include the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, the Kresge Foundation, DTE Energy Foundation, Skillman Foundation, Huntington Bank, and Bank of America. Other donors included the Ballmer Group, Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan, Dakkota Integrated Systems and the Max M. & Marjorie S. Fisher Foundation. “I was watching you guys and you and Kodi Lee are on that stage, and my heart’s in my throat,” Mayor Duggan told the youngsters after they returned home. “When they announced it was Kodi Lee, I was a little disappointed for a second. But I was like, ‘He deserves a million dollars; he was great.’ The only thing I thought was unfair was there should’ve been two first prizes.” The America’s Got Talent stage isn’t the only notable one that the predominately Black choir has graced. They’ve performed at several Detroit Pistons games and were a part of the CityLab Detroit summit in 2018. “Our kids are your average Detroit young person,” choir director Anthony White told The Detroit News . “They relate to every young person in America and the world. There are no egos, all of our kids are good kids. We just want to represent to the country how good these young people are.” America’s Got Talent winner Kodi Lee —a musician who is autistic and blind—won $1 million and will perform at the Paris Theater in Vegas.

Miley Cyrus Splits from Kaitlynn Carter, Crushes Wet Dreams of All Male Teenagers

You know what they say about Miley Cyrus, right? She can’t be tamed. Not even, it turns out, by a beauty such as Kaitlynn Carter. Multiple outlets have confirmed that the singer and Carter have gone their separate ways, just about a week after we heard they had moved in together and just about a month after they shocked the world by hooking up in the first place. “Miley and Kaitlyn broke up,” says a source very simply to People Magazine, making sure to add: “They’re still friends.” The couple, both halves of whom are female, were just spotted holding hands in Los Angeles last week, prompting many to wonder where things went wrong. But we have no answer at the moment. “They’ve been friends forever and were there for each other when they were both getting separated,” the People insider continued. “But they’re just not in a romantic relationship anymore.” Ah yes, when both were getting separated… Carter’s marriage to Brody Jenner ended early this summer, with Miley then calling off her union to Liam Hemsworth several weeks later. Before Miley’s official statement on the separation even went viral, numerous websites shared photos of Cyrus and Carter kissing in Italy. Did she actually cheat on Hemsworth ? A handful of insiders swore the relationship was over long before the spit-swapping with Carter, while Miley herself slammed infidelity rumors in an emotional Instagram post in late August. “I have nothing to hide,” she wrote at the time. “I can admit to a lot of  things but I refuse to admit that my marriage ended because of cheating… I love Liam and always will.” Concluded Miley in this August 22 message: You can say I am a twerking, pot smoking, foul mouthed hillbilly but I am not a liar. I am proud to say, I am simply in a different place from where I was when I was younger. Check out the full statement here: Cyrus may not have cheated (we believe her), but she definitely took to Carter. The two were seen out and about, getting VERY cozy with each other , on multiple occasions. Alas, it now appears to have simply been a fling and both sides will move on with their lives, no hard feelings left behind. As a reminder, this is what Miley and Liam said upon confirming their separation: Liam and Miley have agreed to separate at this time. Ever-evolving, changing as partners and individuals, they have decided this is what’s best while they both focus on themselves and careers. They still remain dedicated parents to all of their animals they share while lovingly taking this time apart. Please respect their process and privacy.

Audrey Roloff Tugs at Every Single Heartstring in Wedding Anniversary Post

The weather may be turning cold across various parts of the country, but it remains wedding season for at least one very famous family. First, as previously detailed, Amy Roloff announced that she is engaged to long-time boyfriend Chris Marek. We’re so very, very happy for these two. Now, Audrey and Jeremy Roloff are here to gush over each other almost like never before, as the former TLC personalities are here to celebrate their five-year wedding anniversary. “We celebrate today like it’s a national holiday every year,” Audrey wrote on Saturday to open the lengthy caption that accompanies the throwback photo above. “Because we believe anniversaries are important and worth celebrating big. Happy 5 year anniversary,” she added. Audrey and Jeremy have something else to celebrate at the moment, of course, as they’re expecting a baby boy in January. They have something to mourn, the loss of a close friend . Addressing her husband, however, Audrey focused on the positive in this post. “I love growing with you, working with you, playing with you, learning with you, dreaming with you, adventuring with you, and I love loving you,” she wrote, adding: “I’m so honored to live this life alongside you. I’m inspired by who you are and who you are becoming and so grateful that you’re my best friend. “Thank you for cherishing and challenging me and loving me so patiently, creatively, intentionally and faithfully. “I love you more and more each year Jeremy. “‘If it’s half as good as the half we’ve known, here’s hail to the rest of the road.’” Toward the end of June, both Audrey and Jeremy acknowledged some relationship challenges. We even wondered if the stars might actually get divorced . But they’ve clearly pushed through and overcome and here they are now, seemingly as strong and as happy as ever. “This post is in honor of our five year wedding anniversary. Amidst the wild seas we were able to steal away for a night to celebrate, reflect, and rest,” wrote Jeremy this weekend as a caption to the image below. “If you told me on our wedding day 5 years ago we’d do all we’ve done these last 5 years I’da laughed,” he continued. Concluded Jeremy, melting the heart of all followers in the process: But as the saying goes, people dramatically over estimate what they can do in one year and dramatically underestimate what they can do in five. And what a ride it’s been these last 5 years. I’m looking forward to the next five. “If the next half is half as good as the half we’ve known, here‘s Hail! To the rest of the road.” There’s no one else I’d rather have at the helm of life with me than you – happy 5 years Audrey. Audrey and Jeremy left Little People, Big World in the summer of 2018. They have gone on to host their own podcast and release their own relationship/love/advice memoir. We look forward to seeing what their next five years as a couple brings!

BOSSIP Exclusives: Netflix Style Stars Jason Bolden And Adair Curtis Open Up About “Styling Hollywood”

Source: Courtesy Netflix / Courtesy Netflix “Styling Hollywood” Is A Netflix Classic Last month Netflix debuted “Styling Hollywood ,” an ultra chic, but proudly black docuseries, following the lives of Jason Bolden and Adair Curtis, an insanely talented couple who run the JSN Studios design company — where Bolden styles Hollywood celebs including Mindy Kaling, Ava Duvernay, Taraji P. Henson, Yara Shahidi, Storm Reid and a gang of other lovely leading ladies and Curtis oversees interior design projects for stars like Dulé Hill and Sanaa Lathan. Our Senior Director of Content Janeé Bolden binged the entire series the weekend it was released and sat down with the happy couple to discuss. Check out her interview below! Janeé Bolden: How you decided who to actually feature on the show?(Henson, Shahidi, Reid, Duvernay, Lathan and the Hills all make appearances, while some clients were mentioned via photos or video b-roll) Jason Bolden: It was the middle of the awards season and a lot of people were working or traveling, so a lot of it was the people who had a window of time and were available. Everything was happening in real time. Seeing Taraji the day of the Emmys was happening in real time. View this post on Instagram Mid sentence per use…Milano nights w/ my 1&Only + our @prada family A post shared by Adair Curtis (@adair_curtis) on Sep 18, 2019 at 12:37pm PDT Janeé: You guys are an African-American gay couple, not exactly what we see on TV much at all. How did that factor into you guys wanting to tell your story? Jason: Hashtag #DoubleBlack! Adair: In the beginning, and even up until we started doing press, it’s always in the back of your mind, you’re cognizant of it, that it is not often that you see yourself represented, or scenarios of people who look like you so much or have backgrounds like you, so much. So it was important to us to be portrayed in our truest form, in our truest light and to give audiences a glimpse of what our life is like. We’re just like everyone else. Janeé: Yes you are, but way more fabulous! Better access, better cars, way cuter dog, way more access to dope closets and interiors as well. All that aside, you’re both very busy… How did you make time for production? Video production is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a production… That part didn’t get frustrating at all? Adair: Yeah that part was hard. It was something we had to adjust to, because our work schedules are very hectic and we work around the clock. Sometimes I had to film by myself because Jason was working, he had to be on location somewhere or on a set with somebody or at a fitting. And then even vice versa. Jason had to film while I was at a site meeting or I may have been in meetings or designing … It was something we had to adjust to but the family just got used to it. Janeé: If you guys get to do another season, and I hope you do, will we get to see more of your job Adair? I feel like the Hill house took up the bulk of the season in terms of what we saw of your work. We saw Sanaa’s Air BnB, we saw you furniture shopping with Gabrielle Union, but outside of that we saw a lot of Jason during awards season. Adair: Yeah it’s hard to please everybody the crazy thing, or the factual thing about interiors is that things take a long time. Renovations take a long time. While Jason could outfit someone quickly and you can get this on film quickly, we can start a renovation in December and not finish until the next December and when you have a window to fit something in that’s what you do. If we get a second season. we will show the interior work, because Jason is involved in that too and you don’t get to see that so much. Our dynamic of how we work together on interiors. I’m hoping we get to show more of that too. Hit the flip to continue.
